      Wikipedians can be a similarly compulsive and eccentric lot. So much so that some refer to themselves as Wikipediholics with a case of editcountitis, "a serious disease consisting of an unhealthy obsession with the number of edits you have made to Wikipedia."

      Many Wikipedia pages deal with topics only of interest to the Wikipedia community itself. Some of these pages are funny: there's a 1,181-question test to see if you're a Wikipediholic (for anyone who willingly sits through the entire test, I think the answer is obviously "yes"); a list of articles with freaky titles ("22.86 Centimetre Nails," the metric version of the band "Nine Inch Nails," now unfortunately deleted); and many others.
